Review of Alice Cooper - Welcome to My Nightmare (1976) by Jonathan H — 14 Jan 2012

This man is the very definition of "underrated." He was so ahead of his time, it's ridiculous. This film showcases a smart, yet certifiably insane artist (literally--he was admitted to a mental institution shortly after this film came out) whose high concept stage shows were boldly original, contemplative and tongue-in-cheek that they shot him to heights of fame he never thought he'd experience.

Whenever someone mentions how cool Vincent Price's Thriller voiceovers are, I'm that guy who interrupts and says, "you know, Alice Cooper did the same thing, with FAR better results, a full DECADE before Thriller even came out.

" But it's okay, he finally got the recognition he deserves and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fall last year. It's kind of a minor tragedy that it took that long, but that's another discussion all together.
